The battle was imminent. When the people guarding the valley saw that the Japanese army had taken action, those who were originally standing guard outside the watchtower quickly retreated into the watchtower.
Watanabe's team was a reinforced team with four mortars. The Japanese army was well-trained. In a few minutes, the artillery was ready.
"Reporting to the colonel, the artillery is ready.”
A lieutenant named Yamaguchi came forward to report.
"Aim at the watchtower at the entrance of the valley and fire!"
Watanabe gave the order, and the four mortars fired one after another.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After a few loud explosions, Watanabe looked into the distance and saw that the watchtower was still standing there.
"Eight squares! Yamaguchi, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you hit the target?”
"Reporting to the colonel, the trajectory of our cannonballs is a large parabola. It's not suitable to attack targets like watchtowers.”
Watanabe had led troops to battle and participated in more than a hundred battles. Of course, he understood this principle, but he was confused by anger just now.
"Shanmu, bring your men and charge.”
"Yes, sir!"
" Yes!" Shan Mu replied and immediately led more than thirty people, shouting loudly as they rushed forward.
Two hundred meters…
A hundred meters…
"Da da da…"
When the Japanese army was less than 100 meters away from the penthouse, the two CK light machine guns spat out flames one after another…
Without any cover, the Japanese soldiers became live targets.
Although the people on the carved building were not professional soldiers, the dense bullets fired by the two machine guns were bound to hit the jackpot.
Although the Japanese soldiers quickly lay on the ground, there were still four or five people who were shot and fell to the ground.
"Eight squares! Charge!"
Shan Mu waved the tortoiseshell box in his hand and urged his soldiers loudly.
The Japanese soldiers, who had been ravaged by the Japanese Bushido, got up from the ground again and rushed forward again.
Seventy meters…
Sixty meters…
Fifty meters…
The people of Yuling responded with gunshots,"You little Japanese! Go back, you're not welcome here!"
Following the intense gunshots, the Japanese soldiers fell one by one. Their frenzied attacks were pushed back time and time again.
The invaders had to pay the price of blood for every step they took in this land they invaded!
The devil was getting closer and closer to the watchtower…
Thirty meters left!
At this moment, more than ten people rushed out from the watchtowers on both sides. The weapons in their hands could be said to be of all kinds. There were fireballs, crossbows, and even rifles.
As soon as they rushed out, they hid behind the bunkers that had been built with gunny sacks. For a moment, all kinds of weapons were aimed at the Japanese. The Japanese left a few more corpses behind and fled back in a panic…
Watanabe Junichi looked at Yamaki, who was covered in dirt, and the remaining dozen or so soldiers behind him. He could not help but fly into a rage.
"Eight squares! You bunch of trash, you can't even beat a bunch of commoners, and you still have the face to come back alive!”
"Reporting to the colonel, the terrain is too unfavorable for us, and they have strong fortifications. As for us…"
Shan Mu looked a little dejected. The tsundere air he had when he asked for the battle had long disappeared.
"Don't find excuses. As a member of the Imperial Army of Japan, failure is a disgrace! Immediately lead everyone and reorganize the attack. We must take this valley entrance!”
Watanabe Junichi had almost gone crazy.
"Yes, Shanmu wants that canyon entrance even if he dies. If I can't complete the mission, I won't come back alive to see you!”
After Shan Mu finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to regroup his team and launch another attack.
At this moment, a signalman ran over and said,""Reporting to the colonel, Fujino has arrived under orders.”
"Good, it's great that you came. Tell Fujino to pull up the Type 92 cannon. I want to see how strong their offensive is.”
"Reporting to the colonel, Shanmu has assembled the troops. Please give the order to attack.”
At this moment, after Yamu had gathered his team, he came over to report.
"Wait for a moment. After the artillery destroys the enemy's fortifications, you will immediately launch an attack and take down One-Line-Sky!”
"Yes, sir!"
At this moment, the two Type 92 Infantry Cannons retreated. After some intense preparation, a second lieutenant in charge of the artillery ran to the front of the transformation.
"Reporting to the colonel, the artillery is ready. Please give the order.”
"Open fire immediately. You must take out the two watchtowers on both sides of the canyon entrance!”
"Yes, sir!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With the loud roar of the cannon, two 3.8 kg high explosive shells flew straight towards the two watchtowers.
"Rumble!" With two loud bangs, gravel flew in all directions. The two sturdy watchtowers were unable to withstand such a powerful attack and were instantly blown to pieces.
"Release!"
Following the commander's order, two more shells flew out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After two loud bangs, the two watchtowers had been blown into ruins…
As soon as the cannons stopped firing, Shan Mu commanded his troops and charged out like wild beasts.
When the guards at the entrance saw this, they knew that it was difficult to resist and quickly retreated into the canyon.
Shan Mu also quickly commanded his troops to pursue closely behind.
Watanabe Chun looked at them one by one, and his expression finally eased up. He waved his hand and shouted,"Everyone, attack and capture Stone Pond Village!”
Watanabe commanded the troops. Not far from the valley, he saw a soldier running over.
"Reporting to the colonel, Captain Shanmu saw that the terrain in the valley is dangerous and he is afraid that there are ambushes. He sent me to ask if we should continue to pursue.”
After listening to the report, Watanabe looked up at the cliffs on both sides and thought,""This place is indeed dangerous. If the enemy really has an ambush on both sides of the cliff, I'm afraid it's really dangerous.”
Watanabe hesitated.
"Why did the colonel stop? Why didn't he pursue the victory?”
Fujino saw the troops suddenly stop and quickly came over to ask.
"Fujino-kun, look. The terrain here is dangerous. If the enemy has an ambush, we might not be able to survive.”
"Colonel, aren't you worrying too much? These mountain villagers were just a bunch of country bumpkins. Who knew anything about military affairs? If there really were an ambush, they wouldn't have fought us to the death at the entrance of the valley.”
The reason why Fujino said this was because since the war between China and Japan, their attacks had almost never met with decent resistance. That was why he became more arrogant and despotic, not putting anything in his eyes.
Watanabe also thought that Fujino's words made sense. Besides, he seemed to see the treasure of Shitang Village waving at him. Therefore, although he knew that it was a little risky, as the saying goes: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. He believed that in order to obtain the treasure, even if there were some sacrifices, it was worth it.
After some internal struggle, Watanabe waved his hand and ordered,""Everyone, listen up. Continue the pursuit. We have to take down Stone Pond Village in one go!”
With Watanabe's order, everyone started to move deeper into the canyon again...
